Electronic Payment Exchange Wins Silver Award for Best Comeback Story at the PYMNTS Innovation Project 2016
Troy, Mich. (PRWEB) March 22, 2016 -- Electronic Payment Exchange (EPX), an industry-leading full-service credit card, debit card, and electronic check (ACH) payment processor, has won silver for the 2016 PYMNTS Innovator Award for Best Comeback Story. The awards were presented Thursday, March 17 and are one of the highlights of the PYMNTS 2016 Innovation Project, which took place March 16-17, on the campus of Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass. EPX was chosen as a finalist for the Best Comeback Story award category after it was acquired by North American Bancard Holdings (NAB), allowing it to start fresh following a bankruptcy filing.
NAB’s position in the payments space has been deepened by the acquisition of EPX, allowing it to leverage EPX’s product offerings to pursue new and more complex market segments, both domestic and international. This alliance also provides EPX with access to NAB’s outstanding sales, marketing, training, and customer support network. The partnership allows NAB to enhance its ability to deploy and support payment solutions to merchants, sales partners, and financial institutions. Throughout this collaboration, EPX will continue to operate its own fully integrated credit card authorization, clearing, and settlement platforms, offering real-time interchange optimization and state of the art secure transaction solutions to some of the nation’s largest merchants.
“We are thrilled that EPX was presented with the Silver Award as Best Comeback Story at the 2016 Innovation Awards,” said Terri Harwood, COO of North American Bancard Holdings. “Acquiring EPX was a smart business decision, one from which both companies have greatly benefitted. One of our goals at North American Bancard Holdings was to become a true end-to-end solution for our clients, and the acquisition of EPX has allowed us to do just that. This Silver Award shows that the payments industry recognizes the hard work and dedication that went in to this partnership and it is wonderful to know our efforts are appreciated by our peers.”
